BOTTLE-WASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 383,964, dated J une 5,1888.

Application filed October 3, 1887. Serial No. 253L348. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, JOHN C. MAOKINTOSH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Im provements in Bottle-Washers; and Ido hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being badto the accompanying drawings. and to the letters of reference markedthereon, forming part of this specification.

My invention consists in the improvements in bottle-washers hereinafterset forth and explained, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings,in which Figure l is a perspective view of my improved bottle-washer.Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the same with a bottle-neck inplace and the hose removed.

Like letters refer to like parts in both figures.

The objects of my invention are to make a convenient bottle-washingdevice which may be readily attached to and used upon an ordinaryhydrant-cock, and flexible hose-connections thereon, so that it can beused as a portable washer.

In constructing myimproved bottle-washers, I make a conical hood, A, ofsuitable size to pass over and inclose the neck B of a bottle,substantially as illustrated in Fig. 2. The up per end of the hood A, Iprovide with an extension or collar, 0, having a screw-thread, D,therein, by means whereof the hood A can be secured to the nipple of ahydrant-cock or secured to a hosenipple, as illustrated in Fig. 1. Atthe point ofjunction of the conical hood A and the collar 0, I securetherein a disk, E, havingataperingjet-tube, F, projecting downwardlytherefrom, adapted to enter the neck B of a bottle, substantially asillustrated in Fig. 2, so that water entering the collar 0 underpressure is forced downward through the jet-tube F into the bottle inthe form of astrong jet, the water escaping from the neck B of thebottle around the outside of the jet-tube F being thrown up against theinside of the conical hood A and thereby deflected downward upon theoutside of the bottle, thus thoroughly washing the bottle inside andout.

In Fig.1 I showa flexible hose, H, connected to the collar 0, having onitsopposite end a suitable coupling, I, for securing it to ahydrant-nipple, the object and use thereof being to enable. the cone Ato be carried from one point to another and used with equal facility andconvenience at any point within reach of the hose H.

The operation of my device is so obvious that further descriptionthereof is unnecessary.

Having thus described my invention, so as to enable others to constructand use the same, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersPatent of the United States, is

1. The combination, in a portable bottlewasher, of a screw-threadedcollar, having a diaphragm and a central jet-tube secured in saiddiaphragm with a hoodsecured to said collar and surrounding saidjet-tube, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination, in a portable bottlewasher, of a collar, 0, having atape'ring jet tube, F, adapted to enter a bottle-neck, secured to oneend thereof,with a conical hood, A, secured at its apex to the collar 0,and adapted to cover and surround a bottle-neck when the jet-tube F isinserted therein, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.JOHN G. MAGKINTOSH. Witnesses:

A. FRED. TILLoTsoN, H. J. GURTZE.
